Focusrite Clarett Range - Thunderbolt Audio Interfaces

Focusrite have released a range of audio interfaces that combine a new preamp design with the very latest in Thunderbolt™ technology, to offer what they say is “exceptional sound quality with an unparalleled interface latency of under 1ms.”

In their press release Focusrite say:

Focusrite’s Clarett interfaces offer crystal clear conversion, 24-bit, 192kHz sample rates and world class dynamic range. Equally, their brand new Clarett mic preamps replicate the impedance and transformer resonance of the original ISAs, resulting in exceptional clarity and the signature sound for which Focusrite has become famous.

The range is made up of four devices; the 2Pre (10 In/4 Out), 4Pre (18 In/8 Out), 8Pre (18 In/20 Out) and flagship 8Pre X (26 In/28 Out). This final 2U interface has been designed with the permanent racked studio install in mind, featuring extended ADAT I/O, and separate rear panel inputs for mic, line and instrument, as well as dedicated phantom power, phase reverse and high pass filters on every channel.
